What a tune-up includes
A garage door moves up and down more than a thousand times a year, and every cycle loosens something. A tune-up is a scheduled visit, usually under an hour, in which the technician goes through the whole system:
- Lubricates springs, rollers, hinges and the opener chain or screw
- Tightens the hardware: hinges, brackets, track bolts and the opener mount
- Checks the balance of the door and adjusts the spring tension
- Inspects cables, rollers and the drums for fraying and wear
- Aligns the tracks and the safety sensors
- Tests the auto-reverse so the door backs off when it meets an obstacle
- Checks the weatherstripping and the bottom seal
When it is worth it
Once a year for a door that is used daily, and before winter where it gets cold, since cold metal and stiff lubricant are when springs tend to break. A tune-up is also the right call when the door has become noisy, slow or jerky but still works: those are the symptoms of worn rollers and dry hinges, not of a failure yet.
What affects the price
Tune-ups are usually a flat fee per door, so the quote is simple to compare. Where they differ is in what is included: some companies replace rollers or the bottom seal as part of the visit, others quote those separately. Ask what the fee covers, whether small parts are included, and whether they offer a yearly plan with a discount on repairs.
